Mr. Fool

George Jones · The Definitive Collection 1955-1962 [Mercury] [2004]

I've got a feeling you'll soon be leavin'

But I won't beg you not to go

Because I've always been

A fool to cry for you.



I know this time it's really over

For there's no happiness in store

And I will never be the fool I was before

No one can ever call me Mr. Fool no more.



My tears were scattered with all was shattered

Dreams that faded in the past

Vows were spoken and vows were broken

But the last one was the last.



So I'll keep smilin' although you're leavin'

For time will heal a heart that's sore

And I will never be the fool I was before

No one can ever call me Mr. Fool no more.

So I'll keep smilin' although you're leavin'

For time will heal a heart that's sore

And I will never be the fool I was before

No one can ever call me Mr. Fool no more...
